Most likely /usr/local/include will be on the include path for your g++
by default, so:
It is.
... so how did you know that?
When booting my FreeBSD box, I saw that path and the words "include
path" and "g++", so it was a guess. And a faulty one, my appologies.
I'm just a little curious why I have to use the -I option when the
files are in a standard path?
You shouldn't have to. Perhaps you could post your *exact* compile
command, without -I options, but with -v, and the *complete* output.
g++ -o test1 test1.cpp -L/usr/local/lib/mysql/ -lmysql -v

test1.cpp: In function `int main()':
test1.cpp:5: error: `MYSQL' was not declared in this scope

test1.cpp:9: error: `mysql_real_connect' was not declared in this scope
test1.cpp:11: error: `mysql_error' was not declared in this scope
Which explains a lot. But I'm pretty sure I get a message when I boot
the FreeBSD box about the /usr/local/include path. But it is in the
white text, so I can't see it using dmesg. (Hope that makes sense, I'm
still pretty new on FreeBSD as well).
So I beleive I have the answer for the mystery. Thank you very much for
your patience :-)
Best regards
Stefan
